Scilla Bulbs

There are many different species of Scilla; we carry 4 types of them. All are small late winter to early spring blooming bulbs that are hardy and grow well in colder climates. They naturalize very well under trees, shrubs and
in the grass.

Very desirable and long-lived.

Scilla Tubergeniana has pale blue to white flowers petals with darker blue midribs. This little Scilla has several excellent features: it's the first Scilla to come into bloom, it will tolerate quite a bit of shade, and it has a very long blooming period. It will also tolerate periods of summer drought. It is one of the shortest of the Scillas.
